Frequently Asked Questions
Engraving
We no longer offer engraving on our items. They can be taken to a personalization shop where engraving can be done with more details and customization.
Sizing details
All of our bangles are sized according to circumference and diameter. It is recommended that you buy 1/2+" bigger than your wrist size for a comfortable fit. Bigger than that if you want a loose fit.
Care instructions
Bangles should be put on with care. Please see the video on my profile for instructions on how to minimize weakening your bangle when you put it on.
Why is my silver turning color?
Sterling silver oxidizes over time and sometimes interacts with the chemicals released in your sweat. As a result, the silver tarnishes at different rates depending on who is wearing it. They can be cleaned by a jewelry repair store and some other home based cleaning systems you can find through a google search.
Where are your items made?
I make the items in my South Carolina home. My brother in Trinidad sends some items for me that are unfinished if I am unable to perform a certain technique.
Bangle Thickness
I measure my bangles thickness in inches. The higher the number, the thicker it is. I have thin bangles from .090" all the way to very thick .230"
If you have any additional questions feel free to ask.
